Early today my 18 month old son tried taking my Skyline for a drive...he had a couple of problems, such as being too short to reach the peddles, can't see over the dash and he didn't have the keys, although very funny to watch and...

Don't worry; when he grows 4" and knows what the keys are for, he still won't need to be able to look over the dash, but...

your car will be his 1st car - gulp :P

Does that answer the Q, "What will he be left with as a learner's car?"

OP isn't about what my son will be cruising around in, I think perhaps I wasn't to direct in my post. (reading back over it, over half was rambling, that I'm going to take out cos I can see how it'd be confusing)

OP is about where all the nice cars are disappearing to??? It's just my son that got me thinking about it.

Why are they getting rid of decent cars and replacing them with hybrid cars that have no power or cars that are just totally ugly...what ever happened to the days of classy cars with sexy curves, and decent amounts of power, cars that had engineering genius....why the limited choices? I know that manufacturing companies only go with what the consumer say they want but I am so sick of seeing good cars being turned into SUV's or Hybrids, of worse still...BOTH!

How can they call this a Skyline of any type???

And yes I am aware they call it a Skyline/Infinity crossover

ive read thru this thread twice now and resisted answering because i already cop enuff warning... but seriously wtf r u talking about. there are no nice new sports cars around????

lets just think for 1 sec ok

r35 gtr

370z

v37 skylines

bmw coupes

mercedes convertibles

audi a5

volkswagon golf gti's etc

911 porcshes

all of these cars have "classy cars with sexy curves, and decent amounts of power, cars that had engineering genius" (ur quote)

f**k a maloo ute has sexy curves and 6.3 litre engine in it....is that not decent enuff power.

hybrid cars are the way of the future because fossil fuels will run out eventually and im sure ur not going to walk every where or go back to the olden days of horses and carriages now are we

im not a ford person but i quite like them

yeah im the same dude, not a ford man at all, but when i saw this thing at the dealership me and my mate were sussing it out for ages, the seats r fkn awesome as well....its got a big ass spoiler....the only way to make it any better would be if it were a 4wd instead of fwd but ...oh well

thats some rich p platers. reminds me of the other night that was extremely hot down st kilda beach seeing red p platers in 100k BMW's with the tops down.. not happy

But in 15 years from now those cars will be worth virtually nothing.

Hmm i thought the actual topic is what cars are left these days. The story about her son with the current car just made her think of the cars available now. Otherwise there's really absolutely no point in this thread. I think everyone just got confused the story and what she was actually asking.

But yeah i agree they will be worth peanuts. Hard to imagine that though =[

I always worried about my first car and the safety of it. I actually thought we had a interesting topic happening with:

what was your first car. Although i am sure there has been a post for it somewhere!

1989 Rover

    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
